It was random. According to SteamDB[1] it was a caching issue that ended up sending random pages to the wrong people.

Thanks. Based on that information any privacy-conscious users should simply not use Steam or the Steam website until the bug is fixed. By not using Steam, their pages won't end up in cache and will not be leaked to others.

Yeah, but there's other bugs that do let you do that (pull peoples account info). I've found a plenty of exploitable vulnerabilities on steam but stopped reporting them after their support told me to go post "suggestions" on their forums instead.
